Awarded for completing Open Source Program Office (OSPO) Design and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to design consumption-side and contribution-side governance for open source software, reason about the trade-offs of where an OSPO sits organisationally, manage the tension between developer velocity and governance rigor, measure programme health, and build the function incrementally against real risk signals rather than a fixed template.
Certificates are designed to be checked, not just displayed.
The credential is valid for 12 months from issue. Its public page states the expiry date, and renewing means passing the current exam again — so the credential always reflects the current material.
